Top Clearance: Project Mission Overview: 100 years from now NASA develops the technology to permit time travel. To counter the astronomical cost of the research they have sold sole civilian rights of the technology to trillionaire Dr. Christian Crowley. Dr. Crowley is in the midst of using the technology to establish a time travel destination company called Before & After Inc.
